Patrick Dempsey, who plays Dr. Derek Shepherd on “Grey’s Anatomy”, is hosting the Dempsey Challenge to raise money for the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer, Hope & Healing at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston. The Challenge takes place October 2nd and 3rd and will feature non-competitive cycling, running, and walking events. Eight-time Tour de France competitor Levi Leipheimer has just signed on to take the challenge, along with this year’s top Tour de France finisher Chris Horner and five-time Olympian George Hincapie. Patrick Dempsey himself plans to cycle the 50-mile course, as well.
